When Arriane arrived at the hospital she felt cold. The air conditioning was working in overdrive, and none of the dust from outdoors had got in. It could have been any hospital anywhere, but it wasn’t. All the staff were in fatigues.
The officer at the desk was pretty, despite her sunburn. She looked tired though, they all did. When she announced who she was here to see, Arriane saw panic in the young woman's eyes for a moment. Her stomach dropped.
They led her into a ward. It was simple, but Brandon had been given a room of his own. Arriane could see why. He was injured badly, terribly in fact, but when their eyes met none of that mattered.
“Hey beautiful.” His voice was hoarse, but he gave her a cheesy grin, wincing a little as he did so.
Arriane sat at the edge of his bed, carefully so as to not injure him further. She wanted to joke back at him, but the words stuck in her mouth.
“I was scared you’d die.” Her voice was a whisper.
“Yeah. Me too.” His smile faded, “Lot of people did.”
“They said a building collapsed.”
“Mhm.” It was only then she noticed how out of focus his eyes were, he was on strong painkillers.
“We can deal with this. We can adapt.” Arriane drew closer, speaking with a confidence she didn’t have.
When Brandon didn’t reply, but instead looked at her with disbelieving eyes, she lent forward to kiss him. A hand hovered over his chest, terrified of hurting him even more but he took it and they clutched tightly to one another.
As tightly as he could without a thumb. He’d lost that in the same operation that had took his leg.
SORRY IT HAS BEEN SO LONG SINCE I UPLOADED <3 I’ve had a lot of exams and I’ve not been all that well recently, but I’m back on track!
Nina: I just thought she would be around a little longer, you know? She always seemed invincible.
Kassidy: Shhh...I know baby. I thought so too. How about you go upstairs and get under the covers. I’ll make sure the kids are in bed and we can talk some more after. Okay?
Prepare for Julianne’s cute little face to take over the blog :D

Mostly happens with the ideas which seem ridiculous at first :D

I’ll show her as an adult *-* She definitely looks a lot like Wendy but I assume something’s different, can’t figure out what exactly. (Ignore these eyebrows, they appear on every sim of mine, are non-recolorable and I have no idea how to get rid of them and when have I even installed them)

“Why did you put that photo up there, Quent?” Emilia didn’t look away from the piano, focused on playing.
“I didn’t want to make a deal of dads leg when he came back. Bran suggested getting used to it.” Quentyn settled back into hearing his older sister play, and was surprised when spoke asked again.
“How often did you notice his leg before?”
“Not a lot. But Bran said mum and dad will have to live in his old room. Downstairs.”
“Probably. You can have their room if you want. It’s bigger, and we can turn your older one into a bathroom.”
Quentyn didn’t look pleased about that.
“Where’s Liam?” Emilia had finished her song and gone onto the next one.
“Still playing with Bran.”
“You could go on a walk with Bran tomorrow,” Emilia suggested, worried her little brother was lacking adult figures, “With Rasher.”
“I’m not getting up that early!” Emilia’s laugh was silenced instantly when the throne rang.
It was later that night when their parents came back. Angie had put the two babies to bed, and had left the siblings be, not wishing to intrude. When the car pulled up, they gathered awkwardly on the front step. It took an age for the wheelchair to get pulled out, and for their father to get in. He wore his fatigues, and in the winter air he must have been freezing.
They were adapting. If a little slowly. Liam was starting to walk, an irony that wasn’t lost on Brandon as the house was adapted around him. It’d be a year before he could be fitted with a prosthetic, and in the meantime he was living in the room downstairs, out by the garage.
Arriane was glad to see everyone, and the antics of her grandchildren were enough to amuse her. It was difficult. She tried to help Brandon as much as she could, but she knew she couldn’t understand what he was going through. He missed his job, and advising at the nearest military base wasn’t the same.
Emilia had finished her exams when Brandon was away, and it was he she went to to vent her fears. Her father didn’t have to use the wheelchair as much now, and was able to go short distances with his crutch. Without work, he had so much more free time, and he tried to fill it with his family as best he could. But boredom still plagued him.
